Mathy Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Hello guys and girls and ... I recently switched my site from http to https, but unfortunately haven't been able yet to get a certificate. I've contacted my provider about this and asked for their help (their description of how to get one via their customer portal resulted in an error message). Until this is fixed, your browser will probably tell you that you can't trust my site ( ) and pictures that are linked from my site probably will not show (here on AtariAge). I hope to get this fixed as soon as possible. Sincerely Mathy PS if my site tries to offer you some cookies, please a) deny and b) tell me. I hope to add my own cookie-statement at some point in time, but first need some pictures. 4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+CharlieChaplin Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Your site infects with a virus. . . . What kind of virus? . . . The Atari virus. . . . You then have to undergo an adventure and search for a healing potion. This could be the adventure of your life - will you master it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sincerely Mathy Trust me, I am DOS 3.0, I will make your drive better and faster and give you true double density. But, you are a liar, you don't offer true double density and you are wasting a lot of space! Trust me, I am DOS 4.0, I will configure your drive better and give you DSDD. And you are another liar, there's no ramdisk, no medium density, no DOS 2 compatibility, no... Trust me, I am DOS XE, I will offer you time&date stamps, subdirs and whatnot. Ha, you are another liar, you offer date, but not time, you want queries for everything, you have illogical and awkward menus and you are wasting my time. Trust me, I am Mathy's (MyDOS) webpage. Should I really trust you ? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atarixle Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 (edited) @Mathy, as long as you don't offer a login or use cookies for (secure) authentification, and aslong you edit your html-sites with gedit/pluma/xed/VSCode... there is no need for a https connection. Pure html (non-PHP) sites don't need https at all. This is useless security. Edited May 29, 2021 by atarixle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dinadan67 Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 Hi Mathy, i installed on my website a nifty skript that gets a valid certificate from letsencrypt and installs it for you. You can get it from https://certbot.eff.org You can even put it in your daily crontab and it renews your certificate automatically.

+mytek Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 I circumvent this whole issue by hosting at weebly, allowing them to keep certs updated without my intervention. I do end up with a small floating dock on each one of my pages linking back to their services, but I think that's a small price to pay for a free website, and of course I always have the option to get rid of it by paying. BITD I use to pay for hosting, write my own html from scratch, and upload it via ftp. But now days with these integrated hosting/webcreators being so much nicer to use, website creation and maintenance has become a breeze. Also the end result doesn't end up looking like something from the 90's . Most of these places also allow for easy integration of shopping carts. In fact I'm surprised that more people selling 8-bit gear don't do this instead of using PMs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atarixle Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 Last night I thought about offering (trustful) software. This could also be a valid reason for https. Who knows which evil force might one day try to make you download a corrupted MyDOS blank disk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
